    I’m slightly jilted I bought the first version. All the little details look so good on the re-edited.

    I'm not a huge fan of the blue-gray detailing. It's fine, I guess?
    And I really could do without more space kanji.

    The chest was my only complaint about this figure, and it stopped me from buying it.

    No excuse now.

    Basically every single secondary color has been tweaked/replaced alongside many obvious and many subtler paint detail changes.

    New parts include the chest plate and front crotch piece.

    I too am not a fan of the 'space kanji' and was wondering, as I don't have the original, are the bonnet pieces painted white or bare plastic?

    If it's bare plastic some alcohol or Novus plastic polish might take the symbols off.

    I might get this one if I can take off the symbols.

    That is an exceptionally nice deco up close. Love all the subtle changes.

    External white plastic piece mounted on internal grey pieces. All red and gold is paint detailing. So if you're going to use chemicals to rub off the gold be mindful you avoid the red striping.

    Thanks LazyAza. Is the Japanese connection from the IDW comics or the original Generations deluxe? I just don't fancy the kanji style lettering for some reason. The rest looks great. Luckily the red and gold don't overlap. I'm gonna preorder and see what it's like in person.
